Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Vietnam combat veteran: Medication and sleep
I am a Vietnam combat vetearn. In 1999 my wfie got help for me at a VA hospital because I had expereiced both long-term unemployment and chronic depression for over a decade and divorced me after twenty years of marraige. In 1999, a psychiatrist at the VA hospital entered in to my medical records "Jim is dependent on his wife, is unable to function without his wife, is unable to make decisions for himself, and has become incapacitated both socially and with his work and marriage, and is incable of obtaining employment."

In Sept. 2005, I finally began to regualary go the VA hospital for help.

In the past when I was taking too much Trazadone for sleep, it caused me to sleep late and to feel fatigued. Maybe your Veteran husband is on too much medication.
